    I've discussed my carbon canistor awhile back. It was a question of
hose routing.

All hoses were correct except the one off the bottom of the canistor.
 It goes from bottom of canistor to a pipe that is bolted to the middle
of the intake with a large hax nut. As shown in web page linked below.

Everyone said it should go to Anti run on valve and then to back/top of
intake.

They are right. I found that the end of the metal tube is sealed shut ,
the hose went there for no reason.

So I hooked it up right with the motor running.

Heres the scenario:

I had the top back of the intake plugged.    Car ran good,  not perfect,
Spits and sputters here and there

I remove plug from rear/top intake. engine runs rougher and faster but
keeps running

I hook hose from anti run on valve to intake.   KILLS motor almost as
soon as I hook it up.  Will not start unless choke all the way on and
once running, turn choke off and have to peddle it to keep it barely
running.

Any ideas?  I'm becoming  very discouraged. so close yet it seems so far
away.

I've whipped up a web page with pictures of my hose routing on the 74.
The hose from bottom of canistor is removed.
It is now canistor to anti run on valve to top/rear of intake.
